Water parameter & plant help!

Hi
yes complete fertilizer will contain NPK, Mg and all traces.
Good example is Tropica Specialised fertilizer but thats costly.
You can easily mix your own ferts using dry salts like many of us here do.
Its pretty easy and very cost effective.

I apologize for my inexperience, what is a complete fertilizer? Do you mean NPK or iron in combination with other minerals?
Never apologize for something you don't know, only stupid folk fail to ask, even if its just to confirm ;)

Edit- failed to refresh so missed the last two posts 😅

A complete fertilizer or what we also call an All In One, is a fertilizer that contains everything your plants need NPK + Mg + Trace elements. Have a google for what you can get on the internet and post it or pm me and I will check it out for you :thumbup:
 
I would like to thank all of you for valuable ideas. I will try to adapt some of them:
1) I see I was too cautious, which resulted in underdosing the necessary nutrients. As the first step, I will just try to increase the dosing of what I still have at home (EasyLife Nitro (which I stopped using in summer when I saw that I repeatidly measured 30 mg/l of NO3 in our tap water), EasyLife Fosfo, JBL Ferropol) and see what happens. I definitely improved CO2 dosing over last month and managed to drop pH to 7.3.
2) There is a chance that EDTA-chelated Ferropol will not work well due to the pH of 7.3. In that case I will order a new complete fertilizer (with DPTA chelator).
3) I will try to dose in abundance and perform the weekly "reset" by 50% WC. However, I must admit that I do not see it as a long term solution to exchange 150 liters of water on weekly basis....
4) The moment I see improvements, I will get some new plants to increase the plant mass.
